Lenten Donation Drive
2026-03-15
For Lent this year, we will support The Gathering Place (TGP), a daytime resource center in Denver. TGP serves women, gender-diverse individuals, and children who are experiencing poverty and homelessness. TGP offers a variety of ways to serve their members and relies on donations and community support to do so. LUCC will help in a few main ways:

March 15: We will collect donations of individual bags of chips, granola bars, bottles of water, juice boxes, applesauce/fruit cups for sack lunches. LUCC will purchase sandwich-making supplies.
March 15: Stay after worship and help assemble sack lunches. This is a project for all ages. We’ll deliver the lunches on March 16. Maybe you have a vehicle and cooler to help? Sign up here or on the welcome center.
March 16: Are you interested in seeing the amazing work of the Gathering Place? Join others from the congregation to tour the Gathering Place on Monday, March 16. Theresa Miller will lead the tour. Sign up here; space is limited!
March 22 and 29: We’ll collect donations of new full-size toiletries for families: shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, soap, and toothpaste.

Educational Forum on Lakewood's Special Election on Zoning
2026-03-22 11:30 - 13:00 | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
Join us for a Educational Forum featuring speakers Karen Gordey from Lakewood Citizen’s Alliance, Sophia Mayott-Guerrero from Make Lakewood Livable, and Roger Low, Lakewood City Council Member for Ward 3.

Lakewood City Council has set an April 7 special election to ask Lakewood voters whether to repeal updates to Lakewood’s Zoning Code that City Council approved in October 2025 or to keep the existing Zoning Code. The Zoning Code is the set of rules that determine how property in Lakewood can be used and developed.
Voting “yes” on each question means a vote to repeal each part of the Zoning Code that City Council approved, and voting “no” to each question means a vote to keep the existing Zoning Code.

This forum is an opportunity for Lakewood voters to learn about the importance of the election and how it will impact the city’s future.

Faith and Justice Lobby Day
2026-03-23 08:30 - 17:00
Lakewood UCC is a member church of Together Colorado, and you are invited to their annual Lobby Day.

Here’s what you can expect on lobby day:

We will come together at the Capitol, joining in teams by legislative district, united by our commitment to justice.
Together, we will meet with legislators to lift up our shared priorities: energy affordability, immigration rights, affordable housing, worker protections, and more.
We will close our morning of advocacy by calling each other into deeper action and commitment.

Afterward, we will gather again to reflect, share what we have learned, and renew our resolve to keep building people power.

Lunch will be provided at First Baptist Church, located across the street from the Capitol.

Together, we can advocate for bold change and help build a Colorado where every person can thrive no matter our race, income, or zip code. Our faiths call us to act for justice and ensure no one is left behind. All are welcome.
